Feline Friday & Give Away

These stinkers! This is were I tried to get the furries to pose on that quilt for Pets on Quilts Show (still got 4 days to post up). They seldom lay here or even more seldom do they sleep near each other. Stinkers!!

I am still playing with The Purge (see side button) and have pulled alot of strips to add to some great strips received from two lovely bloggers.

This is a free pattern Sister's Choice on Quiltville - a 10" block that should use up those larger strips nicely. I have another star pattern drafted to use with the thinner/smaller strips.

And from that scrap bucket of brights - I pulled a few left over trims from my triangle quilt. Just enough to make 3" blades and get three Dresden Plates in each color way. They are 8" across, so will work nicely into cute table runners to add to the gift box. SO were is the give away?

Kauffman, Windham, Clotheswork, Blank, Free Spirit ......... to name a few. I save them, but don't use them. WHY?? So I can offer them in a give away to you folks who love to play with them. So just let me know if you are interested and be sure I have a way to contact you (will ship anywhere) - open until Thursday Aug. 14th (10pmEST) with winner announced on the following Friday. It's all part of the Purge...

And while I wait - I hope to get Mr Bear quilted for that new granddaughter we are waiting on too.Sewingly Yours,Sharon

kitties sure do have a mind of their own. Dunkin is locked in the bedroom at the moment. he was fighting with Phoebe LOL buggar! I would love your selveges. put me in the drawing. sewing for babies is so fun. and so exciting!

It appears you are doing a good job in your purging. I love the Siste's Choice blocks. I would love to see your finished Dresden blocks. Please don't include me in your giveaway I too am trying to purge and that would only add. Have a good weekend.

I've been collecting selvedges too Sharon - not sure what I'm going to do with them though. Don't count me in on this one ... I'd probably just add them to my stash and sigh over them occasionally. :) blessings, marlene

I love your little dresdens, I hadn't thought of blades as a way to use up scraps. I have the ruler, I might have to pull it out and finally try making some. I'd love a chance at the selvages, I have a cute pattern for a zippy pouch made with selvages but always forget to save most of mine.

Those cats crack me up!! Not interested in the salvages though I enjoy seeing what others do with them. BTW. Please keep posting pictures and writing about those little "stinkers". They make my day : )

The way you use up scraps Sharon I'm surprised you have anything left to purge LOL!!! Love your Sister's Choice blocks and the Dresdens of course! But I love your cats photo - you're right.... the Stinkers!!!! The new granddaughter will love Mr. Bear!!

Cats can be the most uncooperative creatures sometimes! One of these days I am going to make a Bonnie Hunter's Sisters choice quilt. Love those Dresden Plate blocks! I tried to reply to your comment on my blog Sharon, but I kept getting a message saying the email was unable to be sent. So I don't know if you got them or not. But thank you for stopping by my blog!

Good for you, Sharon! I, too, need to do a purge of much in my sewing room. That said, I have been collecting selvedges for several years and would like to make something big from them. I think it's the ultimate scrap quilt!

Cats will do anything to be contrary! I've made Bonnie's sister's choice blocks into a quilt but as usual I'm stuck at the border. I'm trying something but it's not thrilling so it keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the honey-do pile...
